Trump fumes as presidency hits 200 days

Trump kicked off his 200th day in office from Bedminster with a string of nine tweets defending his work ethic. Trump denied spending too much time vacationing, touted his popularity, called the Russia investigation a “hoax” and attacked the “fake news” media. The messages came after a weekend in which the White House reacted angrily to reports of a GOP shadow campaign are forming in case Trump does not run for reelection in 2020. Trump also fumed at his critics in the media, who have sought to highlight his golf outings and how much time he spends at his private clubs. Many in the media have sought to highlight Trump’s golf outings due to his frequent criticism of former President Obama, whom he accused of vacationing too much. Trump also claimed that his fan base is bigger and stronger than ever before, despite historically low popularity this early for a first-term president.
